I am looking for source (perferably in C) [but would translate the
algorithm from another language] that will allow me to do "named-io".
This ability is known in PL/I as "data directed IO" and in FOTRAN as
"namelist IO".
----
From the top-level viewpoint, one can read a stream with items like:
QStr := "ABC"; XInt = 7; ZCmplx = (13.1, 17.2 );
and have each value assigned to the variable with the given name.
----
From a low-level viewpoint, given a stream and a set-of-tripples of the form
[Variable-Name, Variable-Type, Variable-Address], one can
1) Match on the name to find the appropriate tripple.
2) Convert the value in the input-stream to the appropriate type.
3) Stote said value at the given address.
----
Any and all hints for location of said function appreciated.
...Paul
